    Not really playing... I've been watching a lot of CS GO championships lately! IEM Katowice 2019!

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Trying out Company of Heroes 2 - interesting game overall, as an AoE fan.

    If you like WW2 RTS and haven't played Steel Division: Normandy 44 yet, you may want to have a look.
    SD2 covers the Eastern Front and is currently having beta phases before release next month or thereabouts.
    I'm personally busy enough with WarThunder, Tropico 6 and a number of games I haven't finished or touched.
    SD2 and Anno 1800 will probably need to be bought though.

    Anno 1800 is on my list too!

    First time into a WW2 RTS for me - although, to be fair, HoI is also an RTS but it's a Grand Strategy game.

    I liked CoH 1 a bit more than 2. Somehow part two has a lot of weirdness with lootboxes and somehow the unit dynamics aren't to my taste anymore. I also dislike the point capturing system a bit because it can be like whackamole, where you constantly run around.
    Steel Division has this frontline system where the focus is less on keeping specified points. Steel Division 2 has some mix of frontline system with strategic points, but I can't say how good or bad that is yet.
    Tried the Anno 1800 open beta tonight and liked it quite a bit so far (well, played ~1.5 hours, including finding settings that work). I haven't really played an Anno since 1404.

    Nah, you can/could preorder on Steam, but the game will be Epic-Store-exclusive upon release on Tuesday.
    The Beta was on UPlay, but it ended on the 14th. Official release is the 16th, so Tuesday.
    I liked the Beta, it felt a lot like Anno 1404 with some changes and improvements, but nothing that would make the game worse IMO.
    So I bought and preloaded it.

    I had a couple U-Points that were about to expire and got a 20% rebate coupon. Why buy a UbiSoft game on Steam or Epic if you need UPlay anyway and can get 20% off there if you've already played a few of their games (a coupon for 20% off is 100 U-Points or what they're called)?
